Chinna Jeeyar (born 3 November 1956) is an Indian Scholar known for his spiritual discourses on Sri Vaishnavism. He subscribes to Thenkalai tradition of Sri Vaishanvism. A biographical profile in India Today magazine described Chinna Jeeyar as a former atheist and Marxist, and gave details of his personal characteristics and business and political connections. According to the article, Jeeyar operates science and technology colleges, and has several centers in the US. The article quotes Jeeyar as saying:
Earthquakes and tsunamis are symptomatic of the pain that we are causing to the Mother Earth[2]
In December 2013, Jeeyar endorsed the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) student organisation for instilling patriotism in students and encouraging them to learn about Indian culture. He criticized western culture. He claimed Indian culture would remain unchanged if students are acquainted with a comprehensive understanding of the country's history. He expressed the view that students play a critical role in a country's development.[3] Jeeyar was invited by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to assist in organising the Godavari Maha Pushkaram (river festivals) in July 2015.[4]
